I spent yesterday afternoon and early this morning watching icebergs flow out of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón) near Vatnajokull, Iceland. The glacier calves into a lagoon (you can hear the crack way out in the distance), and at each outgoing tide, icebergs flow out into the ocean and are pushed onto the black-sand beach by ...

Hverarondor Hverir at Namafjall (near Lake Myvatn in Iceland) is an incredible place to visit. The geothermal steam vents are extremely active, and all of your senses are overwhelmed when you get close to them. I shot aerial video of them in the early evening, yesterday, but really wanted to come back to get a ...

While my wife was out for a run this morning, I put my Phantom 2 w/Ricoh GR camera up into the air and snapped a few shots of the pseudo-craters in front of the hotel. The Lake Myvatn area in Iceland is know for these amazing formations, and I’m glad I had a few minutes to ...

One of my wife’s main purposes in coming to Iceland is to bathe in the rich, blue mineral baths. A couple of days ago, we spent a few hours at Myvatn Nature Baths (Jardbodin vid Myvatn), which was fun. The water is an unreal glowing blue! (shot with Phantom 2 and Ricoh GR camera).

Remember to travel with extra cables! I use an old Phantom battery to charge my Black Pearl monitor / diversity receiver, and the JST connector just lost a wire. I can jam the broken wire in and make the connection work, but it would be better if I had a spare cable here in Iceland. ...

What a difference 20 feet makes! On the left is a shot of Grjótagjá (Game of Thrones shooting location in Iceland) I took with my Sony A7R (see original post). I switched between 21mm and 35mm lenses, but couldn’t get a picture that made the cracked lava tube look dramatic. Using the Phantom 2 with Ricoh ...

This morning, we went to find Grjótagjá, a small lava cave in Iceland with a geothermal spring inside. I later learned that this cave was the location of Jon Snow and Ygritte’s hookup in Game of Thrones. The cave is accessible from two holes in the old lava tube and is fun to check out, but ...

I did a few flights in Iceland today, which was a lot of fun—the country is so beautiful! I’m not really here on an aerial-imaging trip, but my wife has been patient enough to let me do a flight here and then. She is the best. 🙂 We are in Borgarnes tonight, which sits on ...

I’m all packed up for a trip to Iceland! My wife said I could bring one drone, but I’m sneaking a second one on the trip. I have a Phantom 2 w/Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and Gopro Hero 3+ Black w/Ragecams 5.4mm lens mod in a Go Professional rolling hard case, and a Phantom 2 w/Ricoh ...
